its funny they have māori names we dont even have monkeys or apes in NZ lol. Waiata means song usually songs sung specifically in māori its a sweet name
the full face tattoo in Sims 2 PC is actually called tāmoko in the code. I found that really neat and surprising, albeit it'd be seen as culturally insensitive now.
@Human-hs8sp @Human-hs8sp I think that's sick there must've been another māori on the team or something aye. idk if it's insensitive... I think it's cool that an old ass game like that has any pasifika rep that isn't hula skirts and pork bbqs lol. atleast they got the name instead of "tribal tattoo" or something. I think intention matters greatly like that's one of the key things within mana and stuff like it's only disrespectful because of the actions intention not the actual outcome. and the intention wasn't to mock or hurt us it was just someone, potentially even a māori's idea of moko. I dunno it mightve even been their personal history or of some significance to the designer. I can't read moko sadly so I don't know but I can ask someone if they think it has any real significance or if it's just squiggles
Not only hyenas are reskinned dogs from the sims 2 you can actually get hyenas in the Sims 2 pets in create a sim by porting the hyena skins from the Sims Castaway Stories folder into the same folder in the Sims 2 and now you have hyenas in the sims 2 however they do not attack sims like in castaway stories as they are just pet dogs reskinned while castaway stories has new interactions. You must have the Sims 2 pets installed for this to work.
Damn, that was my absolute favourite when I was a child. I wish they would release a new version of that game... it was so entertaining 😂 I didn't know I could play with orangutans tho. That is pretty cool!
I miss the pet dragons. They were so cool too and had fun powers. Sadly in sims 4 even if they come out they are gonna be an object and you can't put them in your shoulder or your left and right hand... Nothing *sigh* man.....
As per usual for me now, I HAVE to thank you for the epilepsy warning. It's hard to find youtubers considerate/knowledgeable enough to add them, and most people think they're annoying. Thanks! You may have saved a life without knowing
I wish that the sims 4 would let us play as our pets like the sims 3 did 😢 I really want to be able to play as my cat since they are goofy and get stuck places.
I don't necessarily want to directly control the pets, but my problem is that without that ability, I can't tell when their objects break. I don't even mind paying for the replacements, but I need to have some way of knowing that they're broken and need to be replaced.
Omg I had the actual disc with this game and it was sooo buggy if you decide to play more than the story mode, which is sad cause I was pretty determined to make a whole generation of sims on the island. I finally uninstalled once the game stopped saving my household for some reason and the child in that house kept deaging back to toddler. Other than that the lifetime rewards are pretty neat in the game. I had everyone talk over seashells like cellphones
There's tools to fix those visuals glitch, it's called Graphic rules maker, and it helps include your actual graphic card to run the game properly (it works with sims 2, all sims stories and the last sims city). For me it's a must have cause sims 2 and castaway stories are my favourite from the franchise
omg I thought it was going to be Bigfoot from the thumbnail and was offended on their behalf haha great video, I didn't know hardly any of those facts about the castaway orangutans!
If you own a physical copy you could have talked to ea and they would give you the game with all expansions for free to own. (Maybe it’s still available if you get a nice employee) Also you can always get it by other means iykwim
There was a time where you could input your game codes from the physical copy you bought, and you could get the new digital download version for no additional charge.
That was offically only allowed for a few months in 2014 but EA actually only stopped offering that back in 2018, I got a digital copy back in 2016 when they'd still offer it .
@onlyabidoang I must make a correction, although it may Look like the Orangutan will always win, this is false. sims CAN Infact beat a Orangutan (Refer to Memories to see whether the Memory is Positive or Negative), this is because it uses the same rules as a Sim to Sim Fight (Check Body Skill and Mood) but there isn't a Suitable Animation for a Orangutan failing a fight
Hyenas are not dogs, they should have done Wolves or seeing how they did not seam to care about where animals come from, Jakckels, Painted dogs or Dingos.
Man I love Castaway Stories. I need to finish it again, the story is goofy and it's fun seeing what mods work with it without breaking it. I actually didn't know I could play with the orangutan you adopt in the storyline.
Hyenas from Africa, jaguars from South America, orangutans from Southeast Asia.... The geography of that island makes so much sense...
Each castaway game doesn’t make any sense
Can't forget the skunks, which are from North America, southern Canada, and northern Mexico
Maybe some Ship that was transporting Animals sunk nearby or they were brought there for hunting
don't forget penguins, all the llama references and aliens from the main games.
I love how the dev team put so much effort into the Jaguar and the female Orangutans, only to simply paint a dog and call it a "Hyena" XD
Lol
The fact they put so much effort into the jaguar only to make one, and have it appear for one part of the game.
lol they didn't even bother to give them the right Tail🙃

Was so disappointed the robot and alien dogs and cats from Sims 2 Pets PSP didn't exist in the main version.

They’re gonna come out in a stuff pack that costs 25$ and only adds a couple chairs and the dragon object lmao
@@mrziiz6893 a yes and a no. Definitely an expansion pack that you waste MANY DOLLARS just for that dragon
@@mrziiz6893 chairs... LGR would approve that XD
And people thought the sims 3 exchange was bad, little did we know what was to come...
They're objects in Sims 1 and 3 too tho.

forgetten pet. right because I abseloutly do not have a pirate version of this game on my computer.
@@josefineandersen2165 😂
Oh no. I have to get sims 2 castaway stories now
My nieces and I love Castaway. One plays the storyline over and over.
I wish that the sims 4 would let us play as our pets like the sims 3 did 😢 I really want to be able to play as my cat since they are goofy and get stuck places.

Only a 5% discount, the EA jokes write themselves
I hope they add snakes , dragon and parrots too.
I miss old sims games specially pet shop from sims 1.
Hey Abi, The Sims 4 just got an update today, The Home Menu just got a new look! Can you make a video about that please?

So sad that they haven't returned in later games. I think the Sims should actually have been an orangutan game to begin with.
omg I thought it was going to be Bigfoot from the thumbnail and was offended on their behalf haha
great video, I didn't know hardly any of those facts about the castaway orangutans!
Kinda weird how the orangutangs are named after words from New Zealand and not Indonesia or Malaysia lol
god i wish sims castaway stories was on origin
as an epileptic, THANK YOU for the photosensitivity warning!!! i wish more youtube creators took the time to do that 🫠
I WAS WAITING IN THE CAVE , THANK YOU ABI , I CAN BREATH AGAIN !! 😢
5:44 she evolved
😂-
I used to have Castaway Stories but I only just realized the joke on "Simian City".
I had no idea as I never played this game. I love this and would love to see more animals added to TS4.
Castaway for PS is still my favourit Sims game 😍🥰
I legit forgot about this.
U can also make a video about Sims Medieval ❤
i thought it gonna be the monkey maid Sims 1
Thank you boo!!🌹🌹❤❤
wait what how do you still playing sims 2?
If you own a physical copy you could have talked to ea and they would give you the game with all expansions for free to own. (Maybe it’s still available if you get a nice employee) Also you can always get it by other means iykwim
There are instructions online for download, but it's technically pirating

I literally went, I CALLED IT, when I saw what the answer was
Good sims video for 2025 good job onlyabidoang
The sims 4 could never. They gave us bears in the form of people in furry costumes.
Hyenas are not dogs, they should have done Wolves or seeing how they did not seam to care about where animals come from, Jakckels, Painted dogs or Dingos.
Where can I get this? And are there any mods for yidaki/didgeridoo playing?
u can make your own sim in story if you want :D
🙂
Omg this is so cute
why did you reupload this again?
I didn’t?
bro........ 7:04

So cool🥰🫶🏻
I miss this kind of charm in games
Nice
First🫶

0:42 part of the ea program? Yikes

Thirst
Man I love Castaway Stories. I need to finish it again, the story is goofy and it's fun seeing what mods work with it without breaking it. I actually didn't know I could play with the orangutan you adopt in the storyline.
i never miss a onlyabidoang drop 🫡💖✨
